Description

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the bands seminal album with the first repress since its original release in 2002. Their third album, this reissue continues to celebrate the bands legacy and catalogue following the reissues of Captain in November 2020 and WarningsPromises in November 2021. In an exclusive interview with Dig, Roddy Woomble shared his thoughts on the importance of this record to the bands historyhellip Simply speaking, The Remote Part is the most popular, commercially successful record that Idlewild ever made. None of our other records achieved that level of popularity. So its the defining record for the group. Upon its original release, the album was met with huge critical acclaim with the NME saying Its every ounce of Idlewilds potential fulfilled at once and Mojo agreeinghellip Sounding assured and triumphant, Scotlands finest finally have realised their true potential , while Rolling Stone saw this as the album that made them stand out above their peershellip They ratchet up the latent R.E.M.isms, elevating themselves heads above their musical kin and Uncut defined it as a huge progression for the bandhellip The Remote Part is Idlewild Mark II sleeker, bolder, better . The release is pressed on 140g recycled vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. Idlewild Vinyl is available for home delivery from Vinyl Records London, only £21 +P&P
